Suisham missed a 52-yard field goal in the third quarter in his return to Dallas, where he played from 2005-06 and 2009. He took over when Jeff Reed was unceremoniously let go so fantasy owners should realize that Suisham's future with the Steelers is far from certain.
Suisham made two of three field goals and all three extra points as the Steelers cruised past the Panthers 27-3 on Thursday night.|||||||
Suisham is 12 for 13 on field goals for the Steelers, missing a 41-yarder Thursday. One miss can affect the confidence of a kicker so fantasy owners may want to look elsewhere for their kicking points in Week 17.
